Description

World War I Propaganda (U.S. Government Printing Office,
1918). Fourth Liberty Loan Poster (36" X 56") "For Victory, Buy
More Bonds" by artist John Scott Williams
It's hard to find a better depiction of patriotism than that found
on this masterful piece by artist John Scott Williams. With a sword
drawn and shield in hand, a figure draped in an American flag in
front of a soaring eagle directs troops to victory. The U.S.
government created numerous gorgeous and eye-catching posters in an
attempt to reach out to citizens, encouraging them to purchase
bonds. This is one of the most striking examples of that effort.
Prior to restoration, the poster had a tear in the lower and right
borders, and a chip in the lower border with a tear into the text.
Touchup work has been done to the folds. Very Fine- on Linen.
